18-year-old Adel Daoud of Hillside, a suburb about 30 minutes southeast of Palatine, was arrested Friday night after he tried to detonate what he believed was a car bomb outside of a crowded bar in downtown Chicago.
A U.S. citizen, The Wall Street Journal reports the Muslim-American was insistent on a jihad mission to kill "hundreds" of people. Undercover FBI agents provided 18-year-old Daoud with a phony car bomb and watched him press the trigger.
The Hillside man is charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to damage and destroy a building with an explosive. According to The Wall Street Journal, Daoud is being held without bond in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago, a federal facility. The 18-year-old is scheduled to appear again in federal court on Monday afternoon, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Ms. Duckworth said that "there is no radical strain of Islam in the suburbs," now we have Adel Daoud from Hillside. Will Duckworth apologize to Congressman Joe Walsh?
Duckworth needs to stop giggling at debates and learn about radical Islam and sharia law.
